While busy with matters related to the Marlow Empire and the upcoming demand for home magic machinery due to midsummer, Xu Yi was waiting patiently for the reply from the Magician Union headquarters to propose a plan to him.

But about half a month after he returned to the Principality of Stantin, he did not wait for the reply from the Magicians Union headquarters, but waited for someone's return first.

"Hey, Leslie, you've been tanned a lot again. It seems that the sunshine on that island in the south is stronger than the Endless Sea?"

Xu Yi looked at Leslie, who had all his naked skin turned ancient brown with some amusement, and no one could see any signs of noble whiteness from him. He thought that since this guy was taken to serve as the commander of the frigate, he had been gone forever on the road of a rough man.

Leslie grinned, and because her skin became much darker, her teeth looked whiter.

"The sunshine in that ghost place is indeed very strong, but thanks to this, I found that any crop there grows much faster than on the Enth continent. According to the residents of the island, they can harvest food three times a year, even four times, so the people on that island never worry about hunger."

"Well, that's of course." Xu Yi nodded in understanding.

This is an obvious thing.

If we want to divide it by latitude, the Sainz continent is obviously in the northern hemisphere of this planet, and the Principality of Stantin is already a very low latitude.

The big island is hundreds of kilometers southward, and it should be infinitely close to the equator of this planet, and even above the equator.

Such an earthly environment makes it not uncommon to harvest crops on the island for three or even four seasons a year.

"So Leslie, have you decided?" Xu Yi asked again. "Would you, or could you control that island in your own hands?"

Leslie smiled and nodded: "Of course. I came back this time to discuss this matter with you. During this period, I took the fleet to the island three times, and had more contact with the residents on the island, and generally understood the situation on the island. I think... it should be no big problem to control that island, but it requires your support."

Xu Yi shrugged: "Of course this is OK, because I was the one who instigated you to go. Tell me, what kind of support do you need?"

"There are many messy things needed, but the most important thing is of course military magic machinery." Leslie said seriously. "That island is not a masterpiece. According to the information I found out, there is actually a so-called Antor royal family on the island that controls the entire island. If I want to control this island, I obviously have to fight with this Antor royal family."

"Okay, no problem. If there is any difficulty, come to me." Xu Yi nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Seeing that Xu Yi agreed so simply, Leslie was silent.

After staring at Xu Yi for a while, he sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder.

"Xu Yi, I know very well why you want me to control that island. Don't worry. When I really control that island, that island will always be the solid backing of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head and said, "I think... compared to considering these things, you should consider more about how to use this to marry Miss Huiniton. Speaking of which, have you met Miss Huiniton again during this period?"

Leslie smiled bitterly: "Her parents have a lot of prejudice against me. I think even if I really become the owner of that island, I'm afraid I won't be recognized by her parents. So Xu Yi, do me another favor."

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Well... I want to open a farm near her house."

"Ha?" Xu Yi looked at Leslie with surprise. "Are you crazy? Let's not talk about how it would help her parents agree with you when you go to open a farm near her house? How should you run to the Candela Empire to open this farm?"

"There is no need to worry about this. I have found some relationships that can solve this problem, and I have actually bought a farm sold by a small noble near her house in a private name. The problem now is just how to run this farm."

Xu Yi thought of the kinship between Baron Billy and Prince Frank, and thought that the relationship Leslie was looking for might be related to this.

"Uh...I think if I just opened an ordinary farm, it would probably not change his parents' perception of you."

"So my first goal is to turn this farm into the largest and best farm nearby. Xu Yi, you have to provide me with some of the magic machinery in the farmland first."

"It's okay, but what are you going to do?" Xu Yi looked at him suspiciously.

"Let me tell you when I do it." Leslie smiled.

Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This guy is even going to keep it a secret.

But he knew very well that Leslie was not the kind of impulsive young man. Since he decided to do so, he must have a complete plan.

As a friend, he just needs to support him.

After the two had some conversations about how to deal with some things on the island, Leslie said goodbye and left, and went to the shipyard to supervise the renovation of the frigate.

Leslie had just left, and another guest came to him.

This guest is a rare guest.

"President Xu, the preliminary data you requested about the statistics on the agricultural development structure of the principality have come out." Viscount Constantine, Speaker of the Principality of Stantin, took out a thick document from the bag he carried with him and handed it to Xu Yi with both hands. "Please check it out."

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded and took it over, but did not look through it, put it aside, and said, "Tell me the conclusion first."

Although nominally, Viscount Constantine, the president of parliament, should be the most powerful person in the Dutch of Stantine, no one knows in his heart that he is the one who specially selected by Xu Yi to control the Congress of Stantine on his behalf and then control the entire Principality of Stantine.

If Xu Yi did not have obvious control over the Principality of Stantine when Anklu was still the president of parliament before, and did not interfere too much in many specific things, then after Anklu privately contacted other noble lords to try to overthrow the New Air Chamber of Commerce's control over the Principality of Stantine, Xu Yi did not hesitate anymore. He simply chose a person to take over the position of Speaker of the Parliament, and began to interfere in various specific affairs of the Principality without any hesitation.

Now Xu Yi, apart from the lack of nominal title, is actually the most powerful person in the entire Stantin Duke.

No one has any objection to this, because those who have opinions have been ruthlessly cleaned up by the New Air Chamber of Commerce guards before.

"Okay." Viscount Constantine nodded, pondered for a moment, and continued: "According to this preliminary statistics, it can be shown that the current grain production in the public is completely sufficient to support the use of all the people of the Principality. Under normal circumstances, even if the Principality even occurs continuously, it is enough to ensure that there will be no famine within a minimum of three years."

"Very good. So, the people of the Principality finally don't need to worry about hunger anymore?"

Viscount Constantine smiled slightly: "In fact, because of the abundant resources of the Principality, the Principality's people have never had to worry about it. Of course, if it were not for the arrival of President Xu and your New Flight Chamber of Commerce, the Principality's people would not be able to enjoy such a complete supply of food now. Even if they did not starve to death, they would never be able to do so without any worries as they are now."

"Okay, don't flatter me. If that's the case, the agricultural industry upgrade plan formulated before should have been implemented with sufficient conditions?" Xu Yi asked.

"Yes. This is the preliminary plan I just completed yesterday. Please check it out." Viscount Constantine took out another thick document and handed it to Xu Yi.

This time, Xu Yi took it and started to read it carefully.

The upgrade of the agricultural industry in the Duke of Stantin was discussed with him since Viscount Constantine took over as the Speaker last year.

The Principality of Stantin was originally rich in resources, and after the arrival of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, it brought advanced farmland magic machinery and fertilizers that could also greatly increase crop yields, making the agricultural products in the Principality of Stantin that were particularly developed and there was no need to worry about food and drink.

But just filling your stomach is far from enough in Xu Yi's opinion.

Compared to the earth, the most obvious difference is that at least most people in the Celestial Empire on earth can eat meat at will, but the people here cannot.

Meat is something that is difficult for most people on the Principality of Stantin, or for the vast majority of people on the entire Sines continent, because there is no source of meat except hunting wild game on their own.

The reason why people on Earth can eat meat at will is because the high productivity brought by industry can easily feed livestock and provide them with meat.

But for most people on the Synes continent, it is already extremely difficult to fill their stomachs by themselves, and there is no need to have so much extra food and energy to feed livestock.

You should know that on the current continent of Sainz, even for many nobles, a cattle that can be used to farm is an extremely precious property.

Before, Vivian was almost whipped to death with a whip because she lost a plowing cow.

Apart from the most precious oxen, even the nobles did not have any extra resources to feed more livestock.

The emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has brought about various novel magical machinery.

Especially the magic machinery of farmland has solved the big problem of countless people, freed many people from the heavy farming, and made the noble lords and civilians of nearby countries less dependent on plowing oxen.

This change has had a very obvious impact, that is, the Kingdom of Lampari abolished a law last year.

This law is related to plowing oxen. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian, novels are better, updated and faster!
